Light sighed contentedly as he sat in the restaurant with his family, his mind wasn't on his sister, who was telling their parents about her test scores. Light's thoughts were on L. The Kira case had been closed for just about three months, and as their agreement stated, in exchange for Light giving up those who had acted as Kira, including Misa, L had shielded him from suspicion.
"Light, can you hear me?" His father asked waving a hand in front of his son's face.
"I'm sorry, what were you saying?" He asked, Mr. Yagami shook his head.
"Still thinking about Ryuzaki?"
"I can't help it. I think i could spend the rest of my life with him. Sayu, who sat beside her mother grinned.
"Are you ever going to let me meet him?"
"It's his choice sayu, he isn't really sociable, he'd rather be by himself, I'm going to respect that." Light told her.
"If you're going to be with him, he should learn to be social." She complained.
"You can't just expect things like that from him. I promised to take things slow with him."
"And so you should, relationships happen over time Light, not all at once. To tell you the truth, I don't know if you should go any further, he did tell you that he and Watari don't stay in one place long." Mr. Yagami pointed out.
"But that was before we solved the Kira case, before we told each other about our love. I do love him."
"We know you do Light. We just want you to be sure before you make any..lasting decisions, especially with Ryuzaki." His mother added.
"Look, I know you two are just looking out for me but, Ryuzaki is important to me, that won't change." Light rose from the table and left his family without a word. He made his way back to the hotel where L was staying.
The hotel lobby was full of people going about their daily business, guests were being shown to their rooms, hotel employees were transporting the luggage to the proper place. Light took the elevator to the top floor and walked down the long corridor.
A variety of paintings lined the walls as far as light could see. Finally he reached L's room, he knocked on the door and waited.
He had made up his mind in the short time it took for Watari to answer the door, he would ask L to stay with him, to be his forever, they would find a house and be happy, he knew Watari would have to come as well but that didn't bother him.
"Light, please come in." The old man greeted, he stepped aside to allow the younger man to enter.
"Thank you Watari." Watari nodded politely.
Light walked slowly toward the detective who didn't seem to notice his arrival. He walked up to the chair and noticed the sadness in his eyes.
"Ryuzaki-"
"Light, please sit down, there is something I need to tell you."
